ABSTRACT:
A new suture depressor for suturing tissues without the risk of harm to the tissues commonly encountered with the use of forceps. The inventive device includes a handle having distal and proximal ends. A flattened portion is formed at the distal end at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the handle and includes a pair of spaced-apart projections which extend parallel one to the other from opposite ends of a flattened portion edge.
